Checking in again - I'm too damn lazy for my own good. I tried to post an entry on my birthday, but it was taking too long to log in.

I had Thanksgiving dinner last night at Mylinda's house - was really good. Didn't have any yams though. Had a good conversation about the past, and all was okay until she broke out a picture of her at 10 years old that got me depressed. I left and went to the Calyph for karaoke, but that, as usual, didn't cheer me up, so I went home.

I got Magic:The Gathering as an online game. I haven't played the physical game in like six years, since all my cards (the limited amount I'm sure that's left of them) are in Redlands at Mike's house. So now I'm trying to channel all my bad obsessions and vices into this safer, healthier "hobby". The only drawback is that it can be a costly one if I don't keep it in check, since I have to buy digital cards to play. I'm a little concerned though, about investing money into this - what happens if this doesn't last? I download the "cards" to my hard drive, but what if this online format crashes or ceases to exist? Well, they do have an option to redeem your cards if you have a complete set - that is a good thing.

Right now it's raining pretty hard, and I've heard actual thunder...can't remember the last time that happened.
